Registered Veterinary Technologist
Pet care experience
Hello dog parents! I have been a Registered Veterinary Technologist (better know as a 'veterinary nurse') for over 10 years and have worked with animals my entire life. I have worked with everything from dogs and cats, to wildlife, exotics and farm animals. My husband and I also spent many years fostering kittens for our local animal shelter. We are true animal people, and would be happy to open our home to your pup. We live in a spacious townhouse with our dog, Nori, and our cat, Evinrude. Nori is a medium-sized, mixed breed dog who adores her canine buddies, and Evin is a charismatic tuxedo cat who loves a good sun spot. I am lucky to work from home now, which means that I'm around all of the time. My husband works out of the house so he's not around during work days, but he's always happy to spend time with Nori and her buddies once he's home. Our townhouse is conveniently located half a block from a fenced dog park and half a block from a very large forest that is great for hikes with furry friends. We are non smokers and do not have any children (other than our pets). We have a dedicated dog couch in our living room, but we save our bed as a space for the cat to spend time. My husband and I are happy to offer both Doggy Day Care and House Sitting. We have a limit of one dog at a time, to ensure that we can provide adequate attention and care to both our visiting dog buddy and our own girl. If you have two dogs from the same family needing care, please contact us with details as we may be willing to take two dogs in this instance. We look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
This is Sawyer's second time stay with Kate and Adam and he, again, had an amazing time! Kate and Adam are so welcoming and treated our guy like their own. They were flexible and very accommodating to our changed schedule. Thank you so much, Sawyer absolutely adores you both, and Nori!
Kate and Adam were accommodating and kind. They sent us daily updates and our dog was so excited to be with them, that when I picked him up he was in no rush to leave. Their dog Nori was so sweet and played wonderfully with Sawyer. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our pup!
We couldn't be happier with our first experience with Rover but moreso with Kate & Adam. We met them and their adorable dog, Nori beforehand at a dog park to get to know one another and I immediately knew my two frenchies would be in very capable and caring hands. Kate made sure to send us daily updates and pictures of our dogs and their adventures while we were away. They look like they had a blast and went on daily hikes and enjoyed the nearby dog park... I'm sure they would have loved to stay even longer given all the extra attention they got! Do not hesitate to book with these two lovely people, you will not be disappointed! We will absolutely be booking them again when we go away :).
I am a veterinarian and I have worked with Kate, who is a registered veterinary technician, for many years. Kate has also looked after my dogs and cats over the years. Kate is a highly qualified dog caregiver and she is compassionate about animals. She is extremely knowledgeable about caring for pets and animal welfare is of the utmost importance. She is a very diligent and responsible person and pet owner herself. I would strongly recommend her as a caregiver for your dog.

Information Kate & Adam C. would like to know about your pet
We do not have any breed preferences and are open to all dogs. They must get along with other dogs and must be okay in the presence of cats (although our cat will have a protected area away from the dogs, but we don't want anyone to be stressed out).
A typical day
We go daily to the fenced dog park beside our house, and often go for hikes in the large forest nearby. We are happy to go throw a ball, have a cuddle on the couch, or just chill in the park and enjoy all of the interesting smells, whatever your dog prefers!
